About ArcRunner

Caution

Won't work for Power Toys Run itself only for the WebSearchShortcut plugin. Setting your Browser Path to an invalid one will also just work in Flow Launcher.

Arc.exe accepts no arguments. ArcRunner.exe enables you to run Arc with arguments, just like with Chrome, Firefox, etc. This can be useful for running Arc with Flow Launcher or PowerToys Run WebSearchShortcut.

Just run ArcRunner.exe and it will set itself up to be used by Flow Launcher and PowerToys Run WebSearchShortcut.
